family, cycling and communications

All week we have been hearing about how cyclists should wear a helmet, hi-viz, lights, not go through red lights. Then, today I see this video on Twitter.

Quite amazing that the lorry driver passes too close to one cyclist at a pinch point and then turns left across another, only to come to a complete stop yet yards later. This is how people get killed. A second or two is all that saved this guy from getting squashed. Doesn’t matter how fast a truck this size is moving, once it gets hold of something it doesn’t let go and the driver won’t know.
